11. What is the sample correlation between the number of students accepted and enrolled?A)−0.83B)−0.24C) 0D) 0.24E) 0.83Use the following to answer questions 12–17.Your friend Donald is often late for meetings. To provea point, you want to studyμ, the mean time Donald is late for meetings. The following table contains theminutes by which Donald is late for 7 random meetings (a negative value means Donald was early).101370−58382712. What is ̄x, the mean time that Donald is late?A) 13B) 20C) 21D) 23E) 2713. To study how accurately ̄xapproximatesμ, you decide to use the bootstrap. Which of the followingis a valid bootstrap sample?A){38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38}B){10, 13, 70, 8, 8,−5, 70, 8}C){27, 27, 10, 10,−5,−6, 13}D){1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}E){38, 70, 13, 10, 8,−5}14. Using StatKey, you obtain the following bootstrap distribution of sample means:Using the 95% rule, what is the 95% confidence interval forμ?A) (−0.3, 57.3)B) (4.1, 46.6)C) (5.5, 40.4)D) (9.6, 38.1)E) (14.3, 31.7)Page 4 of 13

Long Question 2[20 marks total—suggested time approx. 44 minutes]The unemployment rate is the proportion of adults in the population who are without work and are activelyseeking employment. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate was 6% inOctober 2015. Suppose you have employment information on a randomly-selected sample of 50 adults inOctober 2015. Suppose the employment statuses of these 50 people are independent of each other. LetXbe the number of individuals in the sample who were without work and actively seeking employment.a) What is the distribution ofX? (You must specify all the parameters of the distribution.)[2 marks]b) What is the expected value ofX?[1 mark]c) What is the probability that the sample unemployment rate exactly equals the population unem-ployment rate? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.[2 marks]d) What is the probability that more than 3 adults in the sample are unemployed? Round your answerto 3 decimal places.[3 marks]In order to reduce the length of spells of unemployment, the government introduces a new program.To test the impact of the program, 7 unemployed individuals are randomly selected to undergo the newprogram and their employment status is tracked over time. A further 7 randomly-selected unemployedindividuals not participating in the program also have their employment status tracked. The table belowcontains the length of unemployment spells (measured in days) for the two groups.Program (treatment group)67818573707886No program (control group)75868777768186e) Suppose you want to test whether the program reduces the length of unemployment spells. Clearlydefine your notation and state the null and alternative hypotheses.[2 marks]f) Complete the test in (e) and clearly state the conclusion.[3 marks]g) Now suppose instead of being randomly selected, each of the 7 people in the control group waschosen so that they matched closely with someone in the treatment group. Thus, each person in thetreatment group now has a close match with a person in the control group (i.e., same age, gender,education, training, skill, location and so forth). Clearly define your notation and state the null andalternative hypotheses to test whether the program reduces the length of unemployment spells inthis case.[2 marks]h) Complete the test in (g) and clearly state the conclusion.[3 marks]i) Why are the hypothesis test results in (f) and (h) so different? Which is a better way to collect thedata to answer the question of whether unemployment spells are reduced by the program? Explain.[2 marks]END OF EXAMINATIONPage 10 of 13
